SOME photography folks are too preoccupied with or enamored by equipment, some are even addicted to continual changing-up, up-grading, or collecting copious quantities of gear. They form "cults" and go to verbal combat regarding gear. When they are dissatisfied with their photograhic results they buy more gear rather than try to improve their technique. The culture leads to snobbery and one-upmanship-" My camer is better than yours" and "You aren't a REAL PHOTOGRAPHER, because you use a cellphone camera..nah- nana- nah nah Pure childishness!

Thereis a time, a place, and a usage for any functioning camera. A good photographer with a cell phone will produce a better and possibly more artful image that an inept photographer with a state-of-the-art lates and greatest model.

Critiquing photographs and giving constructive advice are good and helpful but don't knock the guy's camera. Most photographers know the advantages and limitations of any camera. Someties they just have to work with what they have and work around the pitfalls.
